What I like: Unlike typical "baby gates" made of plastic and common looking dog gates, this is a very well-made furniture quality item. It blends well with an upscale decor. Much pricier than the average baby gate I've used in the past but worth the money for the appearance. I also like that it isn't a tension mounted gate so that I can use it free-standing across my kitchen without marring my cabinets. 
What I didn't know: My 2 pound toy poodle puppy can easily crawl right under it! His 3 pound littermate, however, cannot. It will be more useful to me when he gets a little bigger, but it isn't ever going to be a gate for an "escape artist." Useful for the type of dog with good training that needs a physical barrier for reinforcement of it's boundaries.
